Which naturally leads me to overthink the situation, if she can tell us that it wont be there but doesn't. She just tells us that she cannot tell us anything, shouldn't that ultimately mean that there'll be PS2 news at FF?

Without getting too deep into Quantum Theory which just makes my brain hurt...SOE said nothing heading into E3. Therefore, the fact that SOE is saying nothing, means nothing. In fact, I'm taking the silence as a bad sign, considering thats exactly what they did for E3.

I really wish they would at least have the courtesy to tell us there won't be an announcement, but I really don't think they are giving much thought to our feelings which is understandable at this stage. They have bigger concerns like actually making the game.

But how hard would it be for Virrago or Brasse or even that over-promising producer Andy Sites to simply say "we arn't ready to announce anything yet, but are are excited for when we can"?

Yep, I'm just fooling around a bit too much.

I'm not really expecting anything of particular either, but I totally agree with you regarding their lack of communication with their fans. I'd prefer them just saying plain and simple, "no, we're not going". It would make our life somewhat easier, I think.

They will probably announce it to a bunch of homeless people around their city. The will round up a bunch of them with the promise of food. Smed will stand on the back of a truck with a megaphone and shout at them that Planetside 2 features UNFORGETTABLE features such as 4km maps and almost as many weapons as half-life 1! Not to mention the new flight model based on the surgile warping from before but now with heavyier weapons and faster warping!

No im not expecting much either....

Just got a tweet from Smedley:

j_smedley: For all you Planetside Next fans, stay tuned for a big announcement at our upcoming Fan Faire in Vegas!

Sirisian · 2011-06-16, 06:56 PM

heh, just saw that. Pretty cool. Hopefully it's about a 2012 release.

Its true

Man I really hope we get a barrage of stuff at the Fan Faire. I'm talking trailers, gameplay vids, more screenshots, details, RELEASE DATE
I hope Smed does not disappoint us

This is awesome news! This is also now a comment thread. And I, am also now eating my own words.

The Desert Fox · 2011-06-16, 07:36 PM

I'm actually excited because they can't possibly give us any Less information or screw us over anymore then they already have lol. Unless they just talk about that amazing producers letter :-p

Nobel · 2011-06-16, 08:35 PM

NOW everyone can actually be dissapointed if they don't say something.

Duffman · 2011-06-16, 08:37 PM

Could be like the "if you're subscribed you get PS2 beta" just to get more people to go to fan faire... im completely jaded.

The Desert Fox · 2011-06-16, 08:53 PM

God I hope it's not as big as that launch we had back in march

Quoted for all those who are going to try to tell me "THAT'S NOT WHAT THEY SAID THEY NEVER SAID THAT>

We have a very big launch coming in the month of March," Smedley said.

Alrix · 2011-06-16, 11:43 PM

edit: was beaten to it, lol.

Grimster · 2011-06-17, 01:46 AM

Haha I don't mean to be negative but I'll bet the big announcement is that they changed the name to Planetside 2.

*run away and hide*

Well "they" didn't say that. Unless Smedly has multi-personality-disorder, he's an individual, and therefore can't be a "they" (and that's putting aside the fact that Smed said that off-the-record, yet got recorded anyway).

Told you guys. :P
